Story

I am running the London Marathon because everyone knows I am an absolute couch potato and doing something like this is going to be one of the hardest things I ever endured but all in honour of very special people who would absolutely be laughing at me for this. 

Firstly my cousin Arran who passed from melanoma, Arran was such a huge influence and part of my life growing up. Nothing has quite been the same without her.

Then my Bapou, the man, the legend that is the head of the family. Sadly we lost my Bapou a year and a half ago, this was due to a few factors but his prelukemia was progressive and caused many complications. 

...Why World Cancer Research Fund?Every day around 1,100 people will hear the words ‘you have cancer’. Over 420 of these cases could have been prevented, that’s a staggering 155,000 people every year. World Cancer Research Fund, are passionate about reducing this number.As part of an international network of charities, they’ve been funding life-saving research, influencing global health policy and informing the public since 1982.While society continues to search for a cure, their prevention and survival work helps people to live longer, healthier, and happier lives – free from the devastating effects of cancer. The money I'm raising plays a huge part in keeping this going.
